Chapter 126 Jiang Shaoxu finally appears
Mu Bai himself is from the Mu clan, but their branch family probably doesn't count as a separate family, otherwise there would be descendants of large clans everywhere in the world.
Most clans do not allow members of a branch family to use the main family's name.
"Speaking of which, your surname is Mu, so you're from the Mu clan, right?" Brother Tang asked.
"Yes, the family split up."
"It's alright. You should know that Miss Mu over there. She's from the main Mu family and has an ice bow inside her body. That thing is incredibly powerful, as you should know. In a couple of days, your opponent will be Miss Mu. Be careful. She hasn't lost a single match since she came here. You'd better pray you don't encounter a head-on confrontation," Brother Tang reminded him.
"Let me tell you, the rules of this game are indeed not difficult; it's not like the magic battles of the past." Zu Chuan gestured, and Tang Wei understood, then stood up to explain.
"Last time, there was a competition where two prison guards created a lot of lava and sent people into it to see who could last the longest. The one who lasted the longest won. However, the prison guards would take measures to prevent the contestants from dying, which was relatively good."
"Because of the randomness of the competition, and the fact that the participants need to be selected in advance, it is often difficult to find useful people. Some light mages have even gone into the lava. That's why the two prison guards are responsible for ensuring the safety of the participants. They themselves only know what the competition is about when it starts."
"There was another competition where it was a contest of who could eat the fastest. Two prison guards brought over a bunch of barbecue and competed to see who could eat the most. So there's really nothing to worry about with these kinds of things. Your life won't be in danger anyway. Just be a little careful about other things. After all, there are hundreds of people here, and it's normal for some people to have different ideas. Just be careful yourself," Tang Wei reminded him.
His meaning was clear: the people here cannot be trusted; one can only trust oneself. Tang's words encompassed all of them.
Mu Bai nodded thoughtfully. However, the competition was so absurd that it was no wonder that everyone here, except for a few, was so relaxed.
According to their ancestors, this place is alright, but in Mu Bai's opinion, they don't consider it very safe. They're probably thinking about how to leave, unlike many other people.
It's estimated that the timeline has been out of order for so long that they're even planning to spend their entire lives here.
This is not advisable. Mu Bai is unwilling to stay anyway. He hasn't even taken revenge yet. The Black Vatican destroyed his home. He has to destroy the Black Vatican, otherwise he can't quell the hatred in his heart.
This is ultimately just an ancient tomb. Mu Bai can't treat this place as anything else, so he'll leave sooner or later.
"I'll try to meet with Miss Mu tomorrow; maybe she knows something," Mu Bai thought to himself.
Mu Qianjin was also arranged by Jiuyou, and she entered before him, so she might know some information.
Mu Bai had always suspected that he was just a laborer, someone who was only there to make up the numbers, and that the real useful person was Mu Qianjin, and that he was just there to assist Mu Qianjin.
However, he himself didn't feel anything. If he could help Mu Qianjin leave this ancient tomb, he wouldn't have any complaints. As long as she could leave, that would be fine.
Just like outside, after wandering around for a while, Mu Bai suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.
It wasn't safe here, so Mu Bai blocked the entrance to the ice bar with ice and reinforced it with plants. He also used plants to seal off the windows, leaving only a small gap.
This makes it much safer.
However, Mu Bai felt that there weren't that many ruthless people here, so nothing unexpected should happen, but it was still better to be cautious.
In another house, Zu Chuan and the others were about to part ways when Jiang Yun suddenly slapped his forehead and said with annoyance, "Damn it, we forgot something! We didn't even mention something so important."
Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the expressions of the others changed. They exchanged glances and remembered that person.
That person is here.
"Let's go, let's go, we can't let Mu Bai be ruined." Zu Chuan waved his hand and then led a few people toward Mu Bai.
"Hopefully Mu Bai will be smart and use magic to block the door and windows, otherwise that person might take it as you agreeing to let him in, which would be a real problem."
"I hope so." Zu Chuan was somewhat annoyed. He had actually forgotten about such a thing, which was really inexcusable.
He's been here for two years, how could he have forgotten?
He would remind everyone that new hires were becoming increasingly irrational.
Zu Chuan shook his head, feeling that staying here for too long would erode his brain. He thought it was a small matter that could be explained by forgetting, but he didn't think so. It wasn't as simple as just forgetting.
……
Outside the ancient capital, two people emerged from the inner city. The man was tall, imposing, and handsome, exuding an aura of authority with his upright posture, giving off an invisible pressure that made people afraid to look him in the eye.
Every step he took seemed to touch people's hearts; bad guys would get goosebumps, and women would feel their hearts flutter.
It's a very strange feeling, but this person just happens to have it.
Beside the man was another person, a woman. The woman was very tall and had a perfect S-shaped figure. Even just walking normally, she made the men restless, like a fox.
It doesn't seduce people, yet it can captivate all beings.
"Brother Tian, you go find Han Ji yourself. I'm going to the Ancient Capital Academy," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Since graduating and joining the military region, Jiang Shaoxu had not seen Su Ming. She had no idea that Su Ming was still stuck in Helan Mountain, unable to get out, and likely to die.
In Jiang Shaoxu's mind, Su Ming was in the ancient capital's academy.
"Are you going to find that boyfriend you were dating back in your hometown?" Jiang Shaotian asked.
"He wasn't my boyfriend. We broke up and never got back together," Jiang Shaoxu corrected.
"Whatever you want, just remember not to go too far." Jiang Shaotian shrugged. He wasn't good at dealing with this little cousin. He was the oldest one besides Shao Li, and while he was already learning magic, Jiang Shaoxu was still 28. There was a generation gap between them.
Jiang Shaoxu complained for a long time when she was assigned to his place, but all her complaints were rejected.
Jiang Shaotian wouldn't interfere in his little cousin's affairs. Different perspectives could easily lead to disagreements, and kids these days don't like others interfering in their lives. Jiang Shaotian didn't want to do something so thankless.
Jiang Shaotian's trip to the ancient capital was still because of Wu Ku. This guy was seen as a bodhisattva in the ancient capital, but Jiang Shaotian knew his true identity perfectly well.
He had to investigate thoroughly. If others couldn't do it, Jiang Shaoqing was no match for Wu Ku. There were only a handful of people capable of taking action.
Originally, Hua Xiao was supposed to handle it, and she was very willing to deal with Wu Ku's matter, since everyone wanted to kill the Black Vatican. However, due to certain events, Hua Xiao was transferred to the southwest, and this matter naturally fell to her.
